You know that asshole at the office who seems to repeat everything you say just to be a douche bag? Sometimes it even seems like he’s walking in step with you. What the hell is with that guy anyway? The geniuses over at the Korean Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) in conjunction with Samsung Electronics created Mahru, the robotic ...

As a professional blogger, I have about as much physical activity as your vacuum cleaner (not very much). I get to lounge around in my pajamas all day and read cool shit on the internet. Basically I’m everything you wish you could be. Sorry, it had to be said. Now BOW to me! But blogging doesn’t come without its hazards. ...

Star Wars and Star Trek have been locked in an intrinsically geeky battle since the beginning of modern geeky times. I’ve always been way more of a Star Wars guy, as I’m sure you can clearly tell from just taking a fleeting glace at this very blog, but as a master of the science fiction arts, I have to admire ...

Artist James Mylne took on the challenge of recreating Johannes Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earring using only one single Bic Cristal pen. Apparently the sort of shading he accomplishes in the portrait is possible using a variety of different pressures. Man, it just boggles my mind that people can do stuff like this. I have trouble successfully composing a ...

LEGO designer Ronald McCrae created this amazing functional ATM made entirely out of LEGOs. How functional is it? Just check it out for yourself: This Lego NXT Automatic Teller Machine includes HiTechnic IRLink and a Codatex RFID Sensor, and just like any other ATM, it demands the PIN number. �Along with a functional keypad, a display screen, it flaunts 9�13 ...

YouTube user Freestuff9er and the world of Pokemon take on The Lonely Planet and T-Pain’s much-beloved parody rap “I’m On A Boat” and Poke-fy it. “I’m Gary Oak” is the hip-hop odyssey of the arch-nemesis of Ash Ketchum and grandson of Professor Oak, Gary muthafuckin’ Oak. By the way, I totally knew Misty got around. Her, with that come hither ...

Equipped with some circuitry, a webcam, a NXT LEGO Mindstorm set and plenty of time on his hands, Branislov Kisacanin created Tetris-Bot, the first (to our knowledge at least) LEGO bot to be made specifically to play Tetris. Sure, Tetris-Bot has only made it to level 1 so far, but I think it might just be biding its time. First, ...

Man, I tell ya, if this were my bird I’d bring it with me where ever I went. It can just lounge on my shoulder all day. I only ask of it one thing. Every time I accomplish something… anything… it must sing this song. Did I successfully cross the street? Sing. Did my credit card get accepted at the ...

Much like an enlarged prostate, this LEGO Rube Goldberg machine, left to its own devices, would just keep going and going and going. Some Goldberg machines have a goal, such as creating the perfect cocktail, others are made simply for their geeky aesthetic but this particular device simply is. And it continues to be. With the assistance of various building ...

In January 2009, a phenomenon began with the posting of David After Dentist onto YouTube by the DeVore family. Since then the original has gathered over 57 million views, making it one of the most popular videos ever published on the internet. Not until today did we get to see a little bit more of what was going on behind ...
